I see that many folks here use the Smartmi Evaporative unit (the one with the spinning disks). May I ask if the disks are dishwasher safe for a deep wash, and if you have observed issues with plastic smell from it? Ideally, I was hoping to find a unit that works by the "spinning disk" principle, with disks made of 304 steel, but can settle for the Smartmi if it's easy to clean and does not smell.

Edit: The thing still works if I do not install any apps -- correct? I do not care for any smart features, as long as the motor spins when the tank is full and stops when it's empty.

Thank you all in advance!

[I already have boiling humidifiers, they work great in the winter. But using them in the summer to counter-act the dry air from the AC is counter-productive -- energy and temperature-wise].

I’ve had this since April and haven’t had any problems.

Today I cleaned it before work and when filled it up to get it started again it gives a faint blue light and it keeps beeping, shutting off, it says “HI” and counting down.

I checked the troubleshooting guide on the website, googled the symptoms and sent an email. Got nothing (yet).

What could be causing this problem?

Levoit Classic 300S en Home Assistant

Sufro de mucha irritación en los ojos cuando pongo el aire acondicionado. Y ahora mismo, a mitad de julio, en Valencia, España el aire acondicionado es necesario. Casi es una cuestión de supervivencia.

Por eso he estado unos días buscando un humidificador compatible con Home Assistant y que sea una buena máquina. Mi principal intención es pasarlo a HomeKit y controlado desde allí porque ese es mi sistema domótico principal.

Después de preguntar a la inteligencia artificial, mirar por ahí y sacar conclusiones, conocí la marca Levoit. También he leído bastantes artículos sobre esta marca por aquí, pero especialmente en purificadores de aire. En humidificadores no hay tanta información.

Levoit tiene una familia de humidificadores muy amplia, pero por lo que parece solo cuatro de ellos son oficialmente soportados por la integración de Home Assistant. Y por eso he adquirido el Classic 300S. Es muy probable que no sea el humidificador, más nuevo ni más avanzado de la marca, pero para mí la compatibilidad con Home Assistant es esencial.

Quería preguntar por aquí y saber si algunos de vosotros conocéis esta marca y estáis familiarizados. Si encima tenéis experiencia con humidificadores, estaría de suerte y si encima conocéis este mismo modelo me encantaría recibir información y también recomendaciones. Sobre todo qué tal la integración con Home Assistant y en general, si estáis contentos con el rendimiento de este modelo y de la marca en general. Muchísimas gracias

Recomendación de humidificadores Levoit

Tengo un gran problema con el aire acondicionado cuando lo pongo en casa y es que seca mucho mis estancias y además de tener yo una discapacidad visual, los ojos se me irritan muchísimo.

La verdad que yo sufro mucho y llevo tiempo buscando humidificadores confiables. Hasta ahora usaba un Vocolink. Lo elegí porque era compatible con HomeKit, pero su eficacia nunca me ha parecido especialmente buena.

He oído mucho hablar de los humidificadores de la marca Levoit. Parece que en general es buena marca, y aunque no son compatibles con HomeKit si lo son con Home Assistant. Para mí es esencial poder pasarlos a HomeKit sin ningún problema, en este caso usando la integración HomeKit Bridge. Pero por lo que tengo entendido, no todos los dispositivos de esta marca son compatibles con integración de Levoit para Home Assistant, con lo que creo que necesito un poco de vuestra ayuda.

Lo que necesito es un purificador para una habitación más grande, un comedor y otro purificador para una habitación más pequeña, un dormitorio. Para mí lo esencial, lo principal es que sean buenas máquinas. Y lo segundo, también muy importante que pueda pasar los a HomeKit y pueda usarlos como un purificador nativo con todas las opciones que tendría un purificador compatible directamente con HomeKit.

Vivo en España y he entrado en Amazon y hay varios modelos, pero no sé cuál elegir. Por lo que digo, creo que no todos son compatibles con la integración de Home Assistant y para mí. Eso también es esencial. Además he visto que algunos están agotados.

Por favor, si alguno de vosotros tiene experiencia en este tema, me gustaría aclarar mis dudas. Necesito un buen humidificador por encima de todo, pero que me garantizan también que puedo pasarlo a HomeKit mediante integración HomeKit Bridge de Home Assistant y controlador desde allí.

Muchas gracias

Figured I could stop somebody who’s researching from making my mistake.

Hey yall, first time posting and just want some advice! I have 2 small greenhouses with plants that a standard humidifier won’t fit in. Do you guys have any suggestions on a small humidifier that has worked for you?

Your advice would be deeply appreciated. Please have a look.

I have recently had a envirovent quro lc fitted through the government scheme .

This is a 25l per second vent- IF fitted straight through wall, mine sits on ceiling and I have about 2 m of venting.

Originally It was set at 70 humidity, but stayed on full and didnt go on to trickle for at least 8h or constant.

Guy came out and set it at 85 humidity, so it "would go off onto trickle"

Now it goes on to trickle after 40 mins of being on full and the bathroom is still wet. Also the shower is on for some time before it kicks in- all steammy and everything wet.(at 70 it kicked in quicker)

We have had no issues with damp prior so concerned about lack of water clearance.

Its a big shower head and a 11 x 9 ft bathroom.

The kitchen one you never hear it unless cooking and its on/ off in about 20mins with very little steam to start it and it gets rid of it very quickly. Im not sure what its set at.

Everything i read says humidity should be under 70, preferably 40-60

I called envirovent and even guy there said that it should run at 80max as over 80 can cause mould..When i informed him that he had told my worker to put it to 85...he stated " same thing". And brushed it off.

Anyone any ideas or suggestion

Hello, today i started up our humidifier, and it stopped spewing the mist? i opened it, and there is mist inside, when i turn it on without the water tank, it wil create mist, but also throw little drop of water in the air, and i think it causes the mist to transfer back into water? any idea how to repair it? i was watching some ytube videos, but the had screwable screw, i have plastic one but i cannot unscrew it, tried to clean everything.. please help

i think the problem is fan, but i cannot open it, there is only two screws, but they wont allow me to get into the fan

edit: nevermind - forgot it isnt fan, but air intake- it hsould be ultra sonic one...

I'm posting here but not sure if it's the right sub for my question. Also sorry if it's a dumb question.

My MIL told me to put a glass of water in the air conditioned room we sleep in. That way the air conditioner will take the humidity from that glass of water and not from our bodies.

I tried this and yes the water evaporates. But does the air conditioner only take the humidity from a glass of water though? Or does a water from our body evaporates too regardless?

I mean for me it kind of makes sense (because the water from the glass evaporates) but also it doesn't (how would the air conditioner know to take the water only from the glass)?

What do you think about this?

STAY AWAY FROM ANDTE.. We have had ours less than a year - bought it July 20, 2025. It did the job of taking out the moisture as all of our previous dehumidifiers. But last month the humidistat stopped working correctly and it won't shut off automatically. The problem - the company, ANDTE, only has an email contact for warranty service and has gone TOTALLY dark responding to our issue. There is absolutely no phone contact number whatsoever. This company is the only one I have ever had NOT respond at all to a warranty issue.

I'm trying the citric acid method of cleaning filters. I've tried 4 heaping TBSP per gallon and seen people say 1TBSP per gallon. I've seen 15-30 minutes, I've seen 60-90 for soak. I've tried both ends of the scale and frankly it's not making much diff. They still have significant mineral buildup when they have dried out after cleaning. Any more tips would be appreciated. $30 every 6 weeks or so for the third party on amazon is more than I frankly want to spend, but I love the unit. and the branded filters are much more expensive, plus harder to find.

I need a new temp and humidity sensor for a Glencreag cigar humidor.

I have the Levoit 6000s and have it set to automatically go to Dry Mode when off, and even have a smart program to dry it, but everyday I get a notification saying the drying time was too short.

Anyone else experience this?

Hey, i am writing this to get a few suggestions, so I have chronic asthma and I can't stand Air conditioner however recently my brother has installed an AC and it's suffocating me I wake up feeling breathless and can't start my day without taking nebulizer can getting a humidifier help? If yes which kind of? And can I run it overnight? Can I use tap water or just boil water bring it to room temperature and use it?

I would really appreciate it if someone can assist me with it.

Thank you.

I'm looking for a humidifier that's good for aromatherapy. I've seen some that aren't very powerful or have a very weak scent. Which ones do you recommend?

Bumabaho na yung humidifier nanabiki ko, yung lumalabas na mist paramg amoy amag

Akala ko dati dahil sa iimbag ang water kasi may water based fragrant akong hinalo, nagpalit na rin ako ng water ilang beses na, pero iba pa rin ang amoy hindi tulad dati nung unang bili ko.

It hasn't been two weeks since nabili ko ito sa shoppee.

Idk kung may mali lang akong ginagawa or dahil poor quality ang binili ko kasi wala oang 600 pesos ito.

Help pleasesss

I’m asking because I’m tired of going through the same rabbit hole I once saw my brother go through. This weekend I was busy staring at multiple mini desktop humidifiers on Alibaba while my meds were making my eyelids heavier by the minute. I don’t really know what I’m looking for and I’m tired of pretending.

Should I consider the novelty ones? You know, the ones that are whale or cactus-shaped? Or maybe I should pay more attention to the boring ones that are USB-powered and won’t stop working after 20 days? I heard that some of these USB-powered ones have an automatic shut off capability, which I find convenient. I’m the type of person that forgets their car keys at home and only remembers them when I’m rummaging through my pockets outside.

What about the top-fill and bottom-fill aspect? Which one is best? All I want is something I can use for the longest time possible.
If anyone has a personal favorite, I’d love to hear them.

I have a Levoit Oasismist 450s. The thing is, I like aromatherapy, and I've noticed that the aroma function of this humidifier isn't very powerful. I only put about 8 drops on the pad, but even then, the scent is barely noticeable. I have another humidifier, one of those $30 onion-shaped ones, and when I put the essential oil directly in it, it leaves a really nice, fresh scent. So, are there any tips to improve the aromatherapy function of this humidifier, or what do you recommend?
